  • Abstract
    The link between ε-entropy for binary random fields and the Lee-Yang theorem in statistical mechanics makes it possible to prove the existence of positive critical distortion for most binary random fields with pair interactions and some with many body interactions. Lower bounds for critical distortion of random fields on two-dimensional (2-D) lattices have been obtained. In particular, the new lower bounds for some 2-D Ising models improve upon previously known bounds
